Mosquitoes are not parasites. A parasite either lives inside another organism (for example, a tapeworm, or some kinds of bacteria) or it makes its permanent home on the outside of another organism (such as ticks, or lice). The mosquito just drinks blood and leaves; this is a form of predation rather than parasitism.
